These bright, circular treats were created by Christopher Thé, a world-renowned pastry chef and owner of the Australian bakery Black Star Pastry. Thé first found fame with his strawberry watermelon cake, which is still the most Instagrammed cake in the world.

Thé told Daily Mail Australia that he was inspired to create the sweet treats during last year's Vivid Sydney festival. "I was thinking hard about a way to tie in food with lights," he explained. "And glow-in-the-dark popped in my head."

So he got to work, thinking of creative, but natural ways to make his food glow. The answer: Vitamin B.

In order to match the natural tartness of vitamin B, Thé and his team had to find the right glaze flavor. "We decided to then ice the doughnut in a yuzu glaze, which is also quite tart," he said. Yuzu is a Japanese fruit that looks like a beat-up lemon.
